/ Broke my elbow on the way home yesterday!

After 5 years commuting in traffic without a scratch, I was finally taken out at 35 kph by another cyclist yesterday. Broken elbow, cracked ribs and a couple of big grazes. Looking at the dents in my helmet it could have been much worse.

Interestingly, the bike and I parted company instantly despite being clipped in - I landed several meters further down the road.

Have not been able to test it yet, but apart from some scratches it appears to have come through ok. I only clipped the guy who pulled out in front of me but at the speed I was going it was enough to throw me off.
